I wish movie theatres would have regular showings with captions on the screen. I'm hearing impaired and need captions no matter what (doesn't matter what the audio mixing is like -- I need them). The chain theatres near me have caption devices available on request. They go in the cup holder and have a shared little screen.
Problem is, those caption devices suck. They are unreliable and sometimes skip lines here and there. I've also been to too many theatres where the captions just didn't work (every one has given me a refund and even consolation coupons, but I really just want to be able to watch the movie).
And then indie theatres straight up have never even tried to be accessible to me. There's a cool looking indie theatre in my city that I'm never gonna go to because they have no accessibility options.
